Metro gives green light to Flavelle Mario Bartel

treasurer of facilities and planning services, told the board of education, adding that the vision process will be an opportunity to “not create a box but the very best school we can.”

Port Moody council was expected to adopt amendments to its bylaws and official community plan at its Tuesday meeting that will pave the way for the redevelopment of the Flavelle cedar mill site into a mixed-use urban neighbourhood.

The amendments went before council after the Metro Vancouver’s board of directors approved the city’s request for an amendment to the regional growth strategy to change the designation of the 12.7-acre site adjacent to Rocky Point Park from industrial to general urban use. That means the property’s owners, Flavelle Oceanfront Development, will be able to continue with its proposal to turn the mill site, that also includes a small parcel of municipal land, into a high-density neighbourhood that could become home to up to 7,000 residents. They would live in 3,400 residential units in 11 towers ranging from 16 to 38 storeys, as well as live-work units and 60 to 70 rental apartments in a low-rise building.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 43

Planning begins for Burke school Diane StranDBerg Tri-CiTy News

School District 43 continues to grapple with the need to seismically upgrade older schools, while parents clamour for new schools in

growing neighbourhoods and on Tuesday a few wishes came true.

The board has approved $1.2 million to start planning a joint secondary/middle school for Burke Mountain that will include a visioning process this

fall. Trustees also approved a joint access agreement so both Coquitlam and the school district can work on the site jointly owned by the two parties.

The new $73 million, 1,000-student capacity school will have a neighbourhood

learning centre as well as a turf field, a grass field and tennis courts. It is still slated for a 2023 opening date, according to the school district.

“It’s very rare to build a new secondary school,” Ivano Cecchini, assistant secretary

Bear a dinner-hour visitor at Rocky Point Bruin’s visit not uncommon, says Pajo’s manager MaRio BaRtel

The Tri-CiTy News

A bear that ambled past Pajo’s Fish and Chips in Port Moody’s Rocky Point Park during the dinner hour Sunday evening was all in a day’s work said the restaurant’s manager, Lois Graham.

“It’s not the first time they’ve been around here,” she said.

“They’re not aggressive. They mind their own business.”

Matt McCrady, who was working the counter at the popular outdoor restaurant on Sunday, said the adult-sized black bear walked out from behind the restaurant past a man sleeping on a park bench beside the path to Rocky Point Ice Cream and headed towards the kids spray park.

He said other than one young boy that ran into a nearby bush to get out of the way of the oncoming bear, nobody in the park seemed too panicked by the bear’s presence. Some of the restaurant’s guests even followed it at a safe distance until it disappeared into bushes along the shoreline of Port Moody Inlet, he added.

In an email to The Tri-City News, a witness who saw the bear said park goers need to be more careful when disposing of their food and garbage at the park so it doesn’t attract bears.

“I’ve seen craft beer clients try and throw empty beer cans in Pajo’s garden,” said Jay Peachy, who was playing music in the park when he spied the bear near

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Matt McCrady said he was working the counter at Pajo’s Fish and Chips in Rocky Point Park on Sunday when he saw a bear amble by shortly after 6 p.m. the restaurant.

He also sent an email to the restaurant’s proprietors, alerting them that “some customers do leave food lying around that the crows, geese, and hopefully not hungry bears could eat,” and that signs to remind them of the presence of bears could help alleviate the visits.

Todd Hunter, with the BC Conservation Officer Service, agreed prevention is the best way to prevent conflicts with wildlife. That means encouraging businesses and property owners to properly secure their garbage and foods that could attract hungry animals looking for an easy meal.

“You have to expect there

to be wildlife around,” Hunter said. “We don’t want to be destroying the wildlife.”

Hunter said his service received 536 reports of bear sightings in Port Moody last year, slightly fewer than the previous year. He added if property owners are negligent in storing their garbage and food, conservation officers do have the power to issue tickets.

“Prevention is the key,” he said.

The BC Conservation Officer website recommends people who encounter a bear stay calm and back away from the animal rather than running away. It also says the bear should be allowed a clear es-

cape route.

The city of Port Moody has had a Bear Essentials program to help minimize bear attractants, while also raising the awareness of bear behaviours through public education since 2000.

In April, city council directed staff to begin preparing a bear management strategy including a social marketing education campaign as well as the placement of bear-proof communal waste collection bins in various neighbourhoods bears are known to frequent.

The Tri-CiTy News

Drivers on Lougheed Highway didn’t know whether to grin or bear it when they spotted a strange sight last Wednesday afternoon.

That’s because it looked like a bear had hitched a ride in the back of a city of Port Moody pickup truck.

Heather Libbey thought so when she snapped a picture of a bruin in the bed of the truck with its paws on top of the cab on the drivers side as they approached Falcon Street. Libbey emailed a picture to The Tri-City News and said she thought the bear was dead, but she wasn’t so sure.

“A very weird and rare sighting to say the least,” Libbey wrote. “It was definitely real.”

She was right. It was a real bear. But not a real, live bear.

The stuffed bear was being transported back to the Conservation Officer Service detachment in Maple Ridge after hibernating for a couple of months in Port Moody, according to city acting parks general manager Doug Ross.

The city had used the black bear mount for its Bear Essentials seminar held in April and then again for a Bear Essentials information display during Public Works Day on May 26. Bear Essentials provides education and awareness about bear behaviour and how the community can help prevent encounters.

CANNABIS LEGALIZATION

PoMo prepares for legalization of marijuana Pot shops would need feedback from community MaRio BaRtel

The Tri-CiTy News

The city of Port Moody will have to amend several bylaws to regulate the sale of cannabis once federal legislation legalizing pot is adopted later in the summer.

Or the city could just opt to prohibit its sale altogether.

In a report presented to council at its Tuesday meeting, staff recommends retail cannabis stores be specifically zoned, much like liquor stores.

That means prospective retailers hoping to open a cannabis store in the city would have to apply for a rezoning of the property, which would then be subject to a public hearing.

The city could also adopt a policy to review all applications received by the province’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB), which will be responsible for licensing and

monitoring private cannabis stores. That process would also require applicants to hold a public open house to answer questions and receive feedback from the community, which council could then use to inform a resolution to the LCLB to support or reject a license.

The report also recommends cannabis retailers be charged the same annual fee for a business license as those selling liquor — $2,540 — although the city could opt to base its fee on square

footage, as it does with other retail stores. That would mean cannabis retailers could pay as little as $260 for an annual license, up to $2,540.

The report, which was authored by Robyn MacLeod, Port Moody’s manager of building, bylaw and licensing, also looked at the implications and costs to the city of legalized cannabis sales and use.

MacLeod said the city’s current bylaws, which prohibit smoking in city parks as well as within 7.5 metres of any public door, window or air intake,

port. Some of those costs could be recouped from the city’s cut of the federal government’s new marijuana tax, although what that has yet to be determined. The province has said it will cover the costs of initial training of officers.

In a previous report to council, Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay said the city should conduct a review of hours of operation and location of retailers to develop a policy for cannabis stores and their proximity to schools, daycares and liquor retailers.

would also apply to the smoking of cannabis. But a bylaw regulating smoking clubs like hookah lounges, where non-tobacco products can be smoked, would have to be updated to ban the smoking of cannabis in such clubs.

The city’s police department will also face increased costs to provide ongoing training to its officers for field sobriety testing and the recognition of drug use, as well as the expense of new roadside screening devices along with training officers to use them, said the re-

CIVIL FORFEITURE

Gov’t wants family to forfeit home, cars Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

The provincial government wants to seize a 70-year-old Coquitlam woman’s home for being an instrument of illegal activity even though the criminal case against her has been dropped.

Following a year-long investigation into a fentanyl drug lacing operation, Karen Leach’s home on Cortes Avenue and several other locations were raided by Coquitlam RCMP in June, 2017. The investigation resulted in her, her son Andrew, daughter Rhonda and her son Marcus, and others being arrested. Andrew was sentenced in provincial court on May 25 to 16 years in jail for leading a fentanyl trafficking operation.

The charges against his mother, sister and nephew were stayed.

But B.C.’s Director of Civil Forfeiture wants the B.C. Supreme Court to order the family home, Andrew’s Coquitlam condo on Pacific Street and four vehicles forfeited as instruments of crime.

In its notice of claim, the government said the search warrant at the Cortes Avenue home, which Karen Leach bought with her late husband Ronald in 1987, resulted in the police seizing more than $700,000 in cash, in excess of 1,000 xanax pills, more than 2,000 counterfeit oxycontin, six firearms, a box of blank credit cards, a blue data card machine and scales.

But in responses to the civil suit filed with the court, Karen and Rhonda claimed to have no knowledge of the items the police seized at the home.

They also deny participating

Two Tri-City men have been found guilty of charges stemming from a home invasion in New Westminster’s Queen’s Park neighbourhood two years ago.

The home invasion happened on July 6, 2016, in the 400 block of Queens Avenue. One person suffered significant injuries in the attack, but by the time officers arrived at the home, the suspects were gone.

Because of the brutality of the incident, a considerable police effort was dedicated to the investigation by the New Westminster Police Department, according to a police press release. The day after the attack, the first suspect was arrested — Stephen Smith, who was 21 years old at the time.

Smith, from Coquitlam, was charged with aggravated assault, break-and-enter, unlawful confinement, robbery and possession of property obtained by crime. A second suspect, 22-year-old Victor James of Port Coquitlam, was also arrested in connection with the home invasion and charged with the same offences.

Last month, Smith pled guilty to possession of property obtained by crime and two counts of attempted fraud. James also pled guilty to possession of property obtained by crime.

Both Smith and James stood trial on the remaining charges and on June 2 they were found guilty of break-andenter, aggravated assault, forcible confinement and robbery.

Smith and James are expected back in court for sentencing on June 28. They remain in custody at this time.

in or knowing about any illegal activity.

However, a statement of facts agreed to by both sides at Andrew’s sentencing states four firearms, ammunition, a silencer and 2,000 fentanyl pills were found inside his mother’s closet, and $450,270 were found under Rhonda’s bed with another $224,089 and ammunition in Marcus’s room.

B.C. Assessment put the value of the Cortes Avenue property, where Karen, Rhonda and Marcus resided, at $893,000 as of July 1, 2017. Andrew’s condo on Pacific Street, which

he bought in 2006, was assessed at $337,000, an increase of $104,000 from the previous year.

Rhonda is the registered owner of the two Mercedes, but the government said her brother and his girlfriend, Arghavan Ebrahimi, are the “true owners.” Ebrahimi is the registered owner of the Acura, while Demosten owns the 2007 Nissan Altima.

The government claims the defendants do not have sufficient legitimate income to acquire and keep the property and vehicles.

Change speeds up SkyTrain trip TransLink is hoping a modification to boarding the Millennium Line at Lougheed Station will speed up the trip between Lafarge Lake-Douglas in Coquitlam and VCC-Clark Station in Vancouver.

The change will occur Monday, June 25 and see commuters boarding Millennium Line trains at Lougheed Station boarding different platforms.

• To board a Millennium Line train heading towards VCC-Clark Station, customers should wait at platform 3 on the north side of the station and closest to the mall.

• To board a Millennium Line train heading towards Lafarge Lake-Douglas Station, customers should wait at platform 1 on the south side of the station and furthest from the mall.

• Expo Line platforms will not change.

Currently, Millennium Line trains switch tracks several times before and after Lougheed Station, resulting in delays.

FRIENDLY FOREST

Preschool teacher ready for retirement Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

There are times in a working person’s life where it’s challenging to account for all the days spent at the office, factory or job site.

But for veteran early childhood educator Glenda TreffryGoatley it’s easy to measure the passage of time.

She just has to look at the splatter wall for children’s painting projects at Friendly Forest Preschool. It used to be a blank canvass, remembers Treffry-Goatley, now it’s as thick with colourful paint splotches as a Jackson Pollock painting.

But after 32 years working with youngsters at the parentrun preschool, Treffry-Goatley is about to say goodbye.

“It’s going to be a loss,” admits Treffry-Goatley, who has been with the centre since 1986.

Over the years improvements have been made to the portable, which was also replaced, a covered playground was built with a sandy play area, a garden and playground equipment were added and there are cozy places for reading, crafts and snacks.

However, the biggest change Treffry-Goatley has noticed is

DIANE STRANDBERG/TRI-CITY NEWS

Glenda Treffry-Goatley paints with Amélie, 4, and Emelia, 5, at Friendly Forest Preschool. how many more mothers work, which means grandparents are dropping off and picking up the children.

The children haven’t changed, though.

“They love playing outdoors,” she said. “We are here rain or shine.”

Sometimes the group takes a walk in the forest to visit a nearby stream or the children commune with nature by placing colourful rocks they’ve painted around a tree, like a necklace.

“I used to imagine I had an

orphanage of children,” TreffryGoatley recalls of her childhood dreams, “It has always been my drive to be with children and provide them with the most enriching environment.”

On the day The Tri-City News visited, the children had made brownies with spinach from their own garden. They also love to role play, and so the preschool is sometimes set up like a vet’s office or a hospital.

“They live in the moment, they’re open to different ideas,” Treffry-Goatley said.

What she enjoys the most about her charges is their belief that everything is possible.

“They often discuss marrying each other,” she noted.

As she counts down the days to June 20, her last day, TreffryGoatley says she will remember many of her former charges, including the one she used to care for who now drives her own child to Friendly Forest — all the way from Surrey.

“It has been my commitment and passion,” she sums up.

And if she needs a little boost of child optimism, TreffryGoatley will return to fill in when other educators are away, maybe checking to see if a little more paint has spilled onto the painting wall.

JOB ACTION

Union asks BCLC to intervene in strike Grant GranGer The Tri-CiTy News

Striking unionized employees at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam have demanded the B.C. Lottery Corporation intervene to facilitate a “fair and speedy resolution” to the dispute.

Casino workers, members of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU), took the request to the corporation’s Vancouver offices during the noon hour on Monday, exactly a month after going on strike. The offices doors, however, were locked so they slipped hundreds of petition cards signed by the workers through the door.

“Casino workers from across the province have had enough,” said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith in a press release. “We are appealing to the BCLC to help ensure fairness across the gaming industry.”

Smith said Hard Rock’s owners, Great Canadian Gaming, and Gateway Casinos “rake in billions of dollars year after year, but refuse to pay workers a living wage” and asked BCLC to step in and enforce fairness in the industry across the province.

SEARCH & RESCUE VOLUNTEERS

No deal oN access gala, says BcgeU

The union representing striking workers at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam has not made any deal to allow community organizations to hold events there during the labour action.

In a recent Tri-City News article, Access Youth Outreach Services executive director Jerome Bouvier said an agreement had been reached to not disturb third-party events like its Evening of Inspiration Gala scheduled for Saturday (June 16). But the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union said there’s no such deal with anyone trying to cross the picket line, no matter which organization it is.

“We don’t make deals for anyone to cross our picket line,” said a BCGEU spokeswoman. “We ask all groups to respect our workers’ right to strike... We understand this is an important organization and we’re hoping they find a way to hold the event at a different time or somewhere else.”

She said the union would work with the organization to promote a new location for the gala if they choose to move it.

“This is an organization we have ongoing support for.”

Access executive director Jerome Bouvier did not respond to a request for an interview by The Tri-City News’ deadline.

More than 400 BCGEU members are employed at Hard Rock. The union said 675 workers at Gateway Casinos in the Okanagan voted 93.1% in favour of strike action last week, and those employed by Gateway’s Burnaby and New Westminster operations are also in bargaining.

“Casino workers are asking for fair wages, benefits and respect on the job,” said Smith.

“It’s the staff who make their

casinos profitable and they deserve to share in that success.”

In a statement to The TriCity News, BCLC said it has received the petition but there’s not much it can do.

“BCLC is not party to the labour dispute between our casino service providers and its unionized employees and has no legal standing to intervene,” said BCLC spokeswoman Anjeet Gill. newsroom@tricitynews.com

Manager still collecting salary after leaving SD43 Diane StranDberg Tri-CiTy News

Departing secretary treasurers have been costing School District 43 big dollars since January, 2013, and today taxpayers are shelling out for a top-level manager even though he left the district over 18 months ago.

The information is available in publicly available executive compensation data and the annual Statement of Financial Information school districts file each year at the end of June.

In November, 2016, a severance package was arranged for the former secretary treasurer Mark Ferrari that gave him two year’s pay, including a payment of $249,810 between June 1, 2017 and November, 30, 2018, meaning he still has five months of pay even though he left the district around October of 2016.

His exact date of departure was not provided to The TriCity News because of confidentiality concerns and no further information is being provided about the compensation package because SD43 “cannot comment on personnel matters,” according to Peter Chevrier, manager of community relations.

In addition to his current pay, Ferrari was paid $104,772.60 for 12 months between July 1, 2016

Speak Have an opinion on a Tri-City News story? Leave a comment on our Facebook page. and June 30, 2017 even though records show he had left by Nov. 1, 2016.

The payouts are listed in publicly-available Public Sector Executive Compensation Disclosure Statements, now online, and in the Statement of Financial Information for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Ferrari’s departure was only three years after he started with the district and took place just two years after the current board of education was elected, meaning that trustees were well aware of the circumstances, which cannot be disclosed.

Ferrari, meanwhile, was hired in September, 2013, to replace outgoing secretary treasurer Rick Humphreys, who resigned Jan. 1 2013 by mutual agreement with the previous board of education and received a $160,23.64 severance pay out through to

June, 30, 2014.

When Ferrari was hired a press release from the district stated that he was responsible for providing leadership and vision in the areas of corporate, financial, facilities and planning services.

He was hired to help the district deal with financial difficulties that surfaced during Humphrey’s tenure.

His replacement is Chris Nicolls, who has helmed the district in the secretary treasurer’s job since Nov.1, 2016, and was given the permanent appointment effective March 1, 2017, according to public documents.

Despite the cost, the board doesn’t make these decisions alone and has to adhere to the Public Sector Employers Act and the BC Public School Employers Association compensation management plan for executive and exempt positions.

“Staff compensation is in compliance with provincial regulatory requirements and appropriately filed annually with the provincial government. It is disclosed on our website under the Statement of Financial Information and on the Government of BC website under the Public Sector Executive Compensation Disclosure Statements section,” Chevrier noted in an email.

Additional information, copies of the bylaws, supporting staff reports, and any relevant background documentation may be inspected from Wednesday, June 6, 2018 to Monday, June 18, 2018 in person at the Planning and Development Department, Coquitlam City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays.

THE TRI-CITY NEWS’ OPINION

Property prices out of reach W

e will see, if not now, in the near future, what rampant speculation has done to our communities.

Governments at all levels have taken a stab at trying to deal with the issue, creating affordable housing funds, partnering with agencies to build specialized housing for those of lesser means, and taxing speculation.

Much of it is too little too late and isn’t going to help folks who make an average salary and whose incomes don’t qualify for social housing but who must battle it out in the trenches with people with deeper pockets. a recent analysis of figures provided by the Real Estate DELIVERY 604-472-3040 NEWSROOM 604-472-3030 DISPLAY ADS 604-472-3020 cLASSIfIED ADS 604-444-3056 n

board of Greater vancouver shows prices are still rising in most areas, especially for townhouses and condos, which will soon be out of reach for the average consumer, while detached houses costing over $1 million are now the norm.

What realtors are seeing is that people are willing to sell, but there are fewer sales. Why is that?

It’s because prices have gone through the roof and consumers are wary.

Even traditionally affordable areas, such as Port Coquitlam, are no longer the region’s best kept secret as buyers have found the friendly city to be an ideal location and their enthusiasm is boosting

TC

prices. Similarly, Coquitlam and Port Moody are hot spots for real estate, with prices for detached homes rising more than 7% since this time last year.

Meanwhile, land costs are skyrocketing. In Port Moody, property for a school on the former flavelle site that was initially expected to cost $9 million will now likely fetch $40.2 million for just 1.6 hectares.

Now it’s not uncommon for a family to pay over $1 million for a modest house, for a $4,000 a month mortgage, while older condos are $500,000, requiring a $2,000 per month mortgage, plus strata fees and possibly an additional assessment for repairs.

This is insane.

What it means is that families moving to these formerly affordable suburban areas will be stretched for cash. Their stress levels will go through the roof, leading to more need for counsellors and social services.

Money will also be sucked out of the economy, hurting local businesses. for too long, people have looked with glee at rising assessments, but when you can’t afford to move anywhere, those assessments don’t mean much, and if your sons, daughters, cousins, colleagues, friends, aunts and uncles can’t make ends meet, even on an average income, then something is terribly wrong.

Even previously affordable places like Port Coquitlam have seen dramatic increases in property values over the last few years, according to figures from the Real Estate Board of Greater vancouver.

HERITAGE WOODS

Future looks bright at YPI presentations

Not everyone is happy with municipalities in the area stepping enforcement and issuing fines for unsecured garbage and animal attractants.

TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO

COQUITLAM

$500 too much for bear fines The Editor, Re. “Tickets, fines, warnings in Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam” The Tri-City News, June 1).

The city of Coquitlam handed out hundreds of $500 fines in just one night to residents who had put their garbage out “too early.”

On my street alone there were at least $5,000 worth of violation notices. This is clearly

a cash grab by the city, even if first time-offenders only have to pay half.

A speeding ticket costs less than $200. How is $250 or $500 justifiable? Especially when you consider what is and is not being ticketed.

I keep my bins in a locked garage all week, but I did bring them out the night before my scheduled pick up. My

neighbour’s bins are often unsecured all week, but because they aren’t “at the curb” they do not receive a ticket.

In theory, the bins are locked, but someone went down our street one morning and used wire cutters to cut all the locks off everyone’s bins (not sure why — maybe to sell them?). I called the city to let them know.

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one

who called. That was two years ago. The city never responded.

Yes, I put my bins out early — I was wrong. But threatening a $1,000 fine? (Both my recycling bin and garbage bin were out, which could fetch a $500 ticket for each cart).

This is all about the money — not the bears.

Jennifer Manning Coquitlam

The Editors I had the great privilege of attending the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative finals at Heritage Woods secondary this morning. Seven groups of Grade 10 students championing the missions of seven highly deserving charities, with the winning group’s charity receiving a cheque for $5,000 to advance their cause.

As the executive director of the Treehouse Vancouver Child and Youth Advocacy Centre and someone with more than 20 years experience in the not-for-profit sector, I found it incredibly heartening to see the upand-coming community change makers that our school system is developing.

The quality of the presentations delivered by

this group of caring and talented students rivals many of the presentations I have seen delivered within the sector. It was clear that these students put their hearts and souls into learning about the organization they selected and they were all highly proficient passionate, and creative in conveying the compelling missions to the audience.

I left the competition with my heart full — proud to be a Port Moody resident and hopeful knowing the future of philanthropy is alive and well with these kids in our community. Thank you to Heritage Woods and YPI Canada for fostering the spirit of philanthropy within our community.

Quake proofing a priority, says SD43 continued from front page

Parents will be included as “stakeholders” in the visioning process, he said.

The Burke Mountain project is probably the most expensive on the school district’s five-year-capital plan but it’s not the only building that’s needed.

Quake proofing continues to be a major driver of school building, according to the capital plan approved Tuesday, which still must be approved — and funded — by the province.

The district wants to see a new school built for Moody

elementary, likely on the current Moody middle school property, at a cost of $22 million, however it would need provincial approval to go ahead. Some early planning, including a traffic study, has already been conducted, the board was told.

And in Coquitlam, Montgomery middle school is also on the capital plan but it’s not known yet whether it will be a replacement or an upgrade.

Meanwhile, some schools that were never assessed for seismic risk drew concerns and a motion was approved to get the province to do a

seismic study.

Millside elementary school, which was closed as a neighbourhood school because of declining enrolment and then re-opened to house alternative programs, needs a proper risk survey, according to Port Coquitlam trustee Michael Thomas.

“There are kids in that school every day,” he said.

The district will now call on the province to do a seismic assessment on any facility that has not yet been studied. Also driving the capital plan this year is changing demographics, due to new development in the area.

Books to help get resolutions back on track A GOOD READ

improvement: A Year inside the Optimization Movement

by Carl Cederström and André Spicer is a hilarious (and sometimes frightening) account of how they spent a full year dedicating each month to a different way of improving themselves.

The techniques they explored included experimenting with learning associative techniques to boost their memory, undergoing a series of cosmetic injections, attending motivational seminars and tantric sex workshops,

MICHAEL DEKOVEn

A

s we head towards the summer solstice, you should well and truly know by now which of your ambitious 2018 resolutions have fallen by the wayside.

There are a number of recent books that can help you prepare to be more successful with 2019 resolutions.

A revised edition of Daniel Chidiac’s self-published phenomenon Who Says You Can’t? You Do has now been released by Penguin Random House. The author outlines seven steps to change how you think and how to overcome what has been holding you back. His system is imparted and illustrated with personal anecdotes as well as stories and quotes from great achievers and spiritual leaders. The publisher notes that Chidiac has “touched millions of people world wide” and his steps have helped to “transform thousands of lives daily.”

In 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, psychology professor Jordan Peterson claims to tell you the most valuable things that people should know. Peterson believes that we need to take responsibility for our own

lives and reject victimhood.

His rules range from common sense recommendations such as “tell the truth — or, at least, don’t lie” to thought provoking advice like “Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them.”

The essays, which explain each rule, draw on Peterson’s clinical experience, personal life and his readings of books from Harry Potter to the Bible.

While Peterson’s stance on political correctness and gender identity has made him a very controversial figure (his publisher describes him as “a modern-day truth teller”), that shouldn’t lead you to ignore this smart guy who writes well. It may even make this contrarian more appealing to you.

Sara Knight, known for very funny self-help books with “bad” words in the title, returns with You Do You: How to Be Who You Are and Use What You’ve Got to Get What You Want. While the expletives are missing from the title, she still delivers the humour and advice (and diagrams) found in her previous works.

In this new outing, Knight advocates we stand up for who we are by no longer letting others tell us “what to do, how to do it, or why it can’t be done.” It is rare to find a selfhelp book that encourages us to embrace and celebrate our flaws rather than telling us how to “fix” them, but that is what Knight is promoting as long as we don’t hurt others.

Desperately Seeking Self-

joining new-age retreats and investigating various smart drugs.

The book presents alternating diary entries from each author as they strive to meet the goal of the month. In June, for example, where the goal was to optimize sex, Spicer partook in the aforementioned tantric sex workshop, while Cederström tried to become multi-orgasmic using various sex toys and techniques.

Cederström has said he felt that his attempt to learn

French well enough for an hour-long radio interview was his most difficult undertaking of the year. One of the more infamous episodes was when Spicer attempted to optimize attention or fame (the goal for November) by addressing a crowed London subway car on positive body image while dressed only in his underwear.

COQUITLAM

Pop-up playground to open for summer For parents with restless kids over the summer, there’s relief in sight — thanks to the city of Coquitlam.

Starting July 2, families can head over to the wooded area north of the City Centre Aquatic Complex (across from the Lafarge Lake-Douglas station) to have fun in the new adventure playground.

Geared to children aged three to 12, the pop-up playground is a pilot project for the municipality — a “natural” space where young ones can run free and have unstructured playtime with planks of wood,

hammers, nails, tires, tarps and other outdoor materials.

City staff will be on site during operating hours to help kids learn the difference between a risk and hazard (parents and caregivers can watch from outside the play space).

Open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

— and Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

— the playground is free to participants.

Visit coquitlam.ca/adventureplayground.

Last year’s Delta Adventure Playground drew hundreds of young participants.

I love the outdoors but my patio area is Q: always wet, what are my options to make better use of my deck or backyard space?

Beyond currency risk, many investors are unaware of the potential risk of US estate tax on the overall value of their estate. If you own greater than $60,000 in US property when you pass away (stocks, bonds, real estate and more) your executor will at minimum need to file with the IRS form (706-NA) to disclose all of your assets upon death.

Due to large deductions available through tax treaties between Canada and the US, only the very wealthy need to worry about a tax bill from the IRS. For example, the new US Tax Reform Act sets the amount where estate tax kicks in at $11.2 million USD’s as the threshold. But you need to know that action is required or your estate could potentially miss out on the available deductions.

From an investment standpoint the US market offer exposure to some of the biggest and best global businesses, so, if the potential of future US estate tax is a concern, rather than miss opportunities, we gain exposure to US investments by using Canadian ETFs or Canadian mutual funds that invest in US companies. This will make things simpler for your heirs to deal with and potentially protect your estate from US estate tax, while allowing proper diversification of your invested wealth.

Licensed Insolvency Trustee

Dental Professionals

Can I Pursue an Undischarged Bankrupt Q: for Collection?

Q: Why do I need dental x-rays?

A:

A:

Yes you can. However, you must wait until the Licensed Insolvency Trustee is discharged.

When a person goes into bankruptcy a Stay of Proceedings is issued. The Stay of Proceedings protects the debtor from any collection activity by his unsecured creditors. When the debtor receives their discharged, all his unsecured debts with a few exceptions, are erased.

You can pursue an undischarged bankrupt once the trustee is discharged. The key word being undischarged. In rare cases a debtor is not discharged, usually because he fails to meet the obligations imposed on him by the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, namely duties, or payments pursuant to a mediation agreement or conditional order of Discharge.

Once the trustee is certain the debtor is not going to honour his obligations the trustee can and should proceed to seek his own discharge from the bankruptcy.

At this point the Stay of Proceedings is lifted and creditors are revived. So, all creditors can pursue the bankrupt for debt collection just as though he was never in bankruptcy.

LICENSED INSOLVENCY TRUSTEE

Radiographs or x-rays give dentists the ability to see beyond the naked eye, this includes seeing the extent of cavities, problems with the roots of teeth, and cysts or tumors within your jaw. The three most common types of x-rays are bitewings, periapicals and panoramic radiographs. Each type of x-ray varies in size and position to help the dentist visualize the different areas of your teeth and mouth. If you are a new patient and/or it has been a long time since you had a dental appointment, a complete set of x-rays is necessary to assess your overall oral state. During your routine check-ups, fewer x-rays are needed to help monitor changes to your oral health. With modern digital x-rays, there are very low doses of radiation. The radiation from the routine four bitewing x-rays is comparable to a short 1-2-hour airplane flight, it’s also less than the average radiation you receive naturally in a single day. Thus, x-rays are safe and essential for the dentist to care for your oral health.

S

ummer is a great time of year for people and their pets to enjoy the great outdoors and soak up some sun. Just as people exercise caution by applying sunscreen and staying hydrated on hot summer days, dog owners must take steps to protect their four-legged friends when bringing them outdoors.

Heat stroke can pose a serious threat to dogs on hot days.

Dog owners who routinely take their pets outdoors in summer must learn how to protect canines from heat stroke and how to recognize its symptoms.

Dogs that are overheating and potentially suffering from heat stroke may exhibit a number of symptoms. Such symptoms are typically easy to spot, but dog owners still must pay close attention to their four-legged friends during summertime walks or play sessions in the backyard. According to the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation, signs that a dog is overheating include panting followed by disorientation and fast, noisy breathing, collapsing or convulsing, bright red or blue gums and vomiting and diarrhea.

Scottish festival starts its migration to park plaza JaniS Cleugh The Tri-CiTy News

Mike Chisholm can picture it now.

At the newly rebranded TD Community Plaza, in Coquitlam Town Centre Park, the pipe and drum bands will play on the concrete stage.

To its side and a bit north, the Highland dancers will perform in the natural amphitheatre overlooking Lafarge Lake.

Up on the hill will be the vendors, cultural tents and beer garden while, to the east, where the BMX track is currently located, the heavy events

such as caber tossing will prevail.

It’s been a dream in the making for a couple of years and Chisholm, a Coquitlam resident who chairs the annual BC Highland Games and Scottish Festival, hopes to make it a reality by next year — with the city’s help.

For nearly 30 years the attraction, which typically draws up to 10,000 visitors to Town Centre Park, has called the Percy Perry Stadium home; however, with the south plaza space now opening up for more events and activities, Chisholm believes it’s time

to get ready for a permanent move.

Friday night will be the test.

Then, the festival’s piobaireachd competition — a contest featuring eight solo pipers from as far afield as Michigan — will perform classical works on the outdoor plaza stage (the event, starting at 5 p.m., is free to the public).

But that’s it for now.

“We want to see how things work out before we commit,” said Chisholm, a piper with the Rocky Mountaineer train tours who tested the plaza for sound last week.

Still, the festivities’ official

kick off on Friday night will remain at Percy Perry Stadium, where organizers will host a ceilidh beer garden featuring the music duo Ruckus Deluxe.

And, on Saturday, Chisholm said visitors can expect the usual Scottish fare all day — with a few multicultural twists: the Obinana Taiko Drummers and the Royal Academy of Bhangra will mix it up on the main track with the Shot of Scotch Highland Dancers.

“The fusion is what makes this festival very entertaining and welcoming,” he said. see spirit grant, page 27

The iconic gold symbol that was tied to Place des Arts’ image for more than two decades was replaced last Friday with bold, bright colours and images — better suited to the Coquitlam arts facility, said executive director Joan McCauley.

The 10-month rebranding process for the Maillardville venue came with a $17,500 price tag and with the assistance of Carter Hales, an award-winning Vancouver design company that’s worked on marketing strategies for such companies as Bard on the Beach, the Vancouver International Airport Authority and Electronic Arts.

Sartin, Hughes take key roles in TUTS’ musicals It’ll be a summer of firsts for Blake Sartin and Brent Hughes.

Sartin, a Port Coquitlam hugheS resident and Terry Fox secondary graduate, takes his first lead role with Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS), playing Bill Lawlor in 42nd Street.

And for Hughes, the music teacher at Dr. Charles Best secondary in Coquitlam will be in the orchestra pit for the first time as conductor in TUTS’ second show, Cinderella.

Hughes said it’ll be his ninth visit to the pit, having played the trumpet for past TUTS’ productions — starting in the mid-1980s when he was an music and education undergrad at UBC. Last fall, TUTS organizers asked Hughes if he would consider leading a musical “and it was a no-brainer for me,” he said, noting his last company performance was in 2003 for Anne of Green Gables.

For Cinderella, leading the musicians through a “very lyrical and romantic and magical” score has been a pleasure for Hughes as he enjoys the Rodgers and Hammerstein

Sartin, too, is looking forward to his starring part in the glitzy 42nd Street, having portrayed George last year in The Drowsy Chaperone and Fender in Hairspray, in 2015.

A musical theatre graduate from Capilano University, Sartin was also invited to be involved in the production, which includes plenty of tap dancing and solo numbers.

For each of his three TUTS experiences, “it’s been completely different,” Sartin said.

“I’ve gone from ensemble and

supporting to now leading.

And I’m learning from all of them.”

Other TUTS cast members from the Tri-Cities include: for Cinderella, Jocelyn Tsui, Jenna Lamb and Nicol Spinola; and for 42nd Street, Michael Murphy, Kyra Leroux, Joscelyne Tamburri, Emma Wiebe and Tiana Pazdirek.

• Cinderella and 42nd Street run on alternate nights between July 4 to Aug. 18 at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park (610 Pipeline Rd., Vancouver). All shows are at 8 p.m. except on fireworks nights when the production starts at 7 p.m. Tickets range from $30 to $49. Visit tuts.ca.

That’s not all.

“Home to our arts community” is the centre’s new tagline, a phrase Place des Arts’ staff say they hear nearly every day. “Our students and families tell us that this is their second home,” McCauley said, “and we’re so glad that’s been captured in our new identity.”

The reinvention started a few years back when the society board began to look at a new strategic plan and vision.

McCauley, who began working at Place des Arts in 1994, said the board and staff wanted a better marketing reflection to tell its story

visually. “We wanted to keep moving forward. We needed something fresh,” she said, adding the goal is also to boost participation rates.

Carter Hales conducted interviews with board members, staff and teachers to come up with its colourful, clean illustrations to represent the 45-year-old arts hub.

And its winning proposal, which shows Place des Arts’ main disciplines of visual arts, theatre, dance and music — with greenery in the background and water below — “just clicked,” McCauley recalled. “It lined up with what we were thinking. It’s playful and accessible. They delivered.”

Meanwhile, to celebrate its rebranding, Place des Arts is inviting the public to take part in a contest called My Place des Arts Story.

Entrants can comment on why or how the centre feels like home to them, by the July 31 deadline.

The contest offers a $500 Place des Arts’ gift card and a $500 pre-paid Visa gift card to the first-place winner; second and third prizes, with lesser values, will also be handed out.

• To apply to the contest, take the online survey (via placedesarts.ca) or visit the centre at 1120 Brunette Ave. and fill out a printed entry form.

GEAR UP FOR YEAR 3 janis cleugh/the tri-city news

Coquitlam’s Elmira Habibullah has got a lot on her plate these days. Last Thursday the emerging artist opened her first solo show, titled Grasping the Moment, at the Port Moody Arts Centre, the St. Johns Street venue that last year awarded her one of two Kwi Am Choi scholarships worth $2,000. And on Friday, Habibullah graduates with her BFA from Simon Fraser University, seven years after she and her family emigrated from Iran where she was a university graduate in the field of geology. This fall, Habibullah pursues yet another degree: her master’s in communications, also from SFU. A former program co-ordinator at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam, Habibullah created her 15-piece exhibit with strong Persian and Turkish influences, relying on traditional forms of architecture and design as well as broken ceramic fragments to demonstrate her new cultural identity. Grasping the Moment – along with Clay Explorations 2018 (Fraser Valley Potters Guild) and Laces of Community (Yandy Chau, a 2017 Kwi Am Choi scholarship winner) — are on display until July 5.

AutismBC and Lindsay Music are festival partners.

DEFYING GRAVITY

Climbers work as bouldering team Unique event tests teamwork MARIO BARTEL

THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Imagine vertical Twister.

That pretty much describes what will be happening at Climb Base 5 on June 16 when the Coquitlam indoor climbing facility at 98 Brigantine Dr. hosts its second Defying Gravity bouldering competition and social, says the event’s co-ordinator, Drew Latta.

While ascending steep rock faces is generally thought of as an individual pursuit, it actually requires a small team that includes a belayer to manage the climber’s ropes and a spotter to look out for their safety.

The Defying Gravity competition takes that teamwork aspect of the sport up a notch by challenging teams of three climbers working together to plot and pull their way up a course in eight minutes or less.

That’s where the Twister analogy comes in, said the head coach at Climb Base 5, Andrew Wilson. Because sometimes a route up a 40foot vertical wall can require climbers to use each other’s shoulders, heads or arms to get a leg up to the next foothold or swing out to the next handhold.

A successful ascent requires cooperation, communication and a whole lot of trust, Wilson said.

“When you share the really scary moments, it brings people together like crazy.”

Wilson and Latta promise at least a few of those scary moments, as they’re spending the days prior to the competition plotting the puzzle the climbers will have to solve and a long day and night the day before placing the various holds on the climbing wall that form the pieces of the puzzle.

MARIO BARTEL/THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Andrew Wilson, top, and Drew Latta demonstrate how team climbers might work together to help them solve the route to the top of the climbing wall at the Defying Gravity bouldering competition.

That’s really what bouldering is, a physical manifestation of puzzle solving, Latta said.

“Climbing is an adventure every time.”

Although deciphering a

word jumble on paper or negotiating a maze with a pencil usually doesn’t have consequences like a fall from great heights that could break a limb or worse.

That’s where building a relationship of trust with a belayer and spotter comes in, Latta said.

“You need people to do this sport.”

Add two more climbers into the mix and anything can happen. Which is exactly what transpired at last year’s inaugural competition, Wilson said.

As each climber for a team is assigned a particular coloured route they must follow, there are points where the climbers may have to work together to help one of their team overcome an obstacle or reach their next hold. How they accomplish that to be able to continue to the top is left to their imagination and creativity.

“It’s like no other climbing experience, it’s so out of the box,” said Wilson, who’s been bouldering since 1985 and coaches Canada’s national climbing team.

In fact, Wilson is so enthralled with the experience, he’s integrated it into training for his own national-level athletes as a way of fostering team spirit and camaraderie.

“You can feel pretty isolated when you’re climbing on your own,” Wilson said. “This brings our team closer together.”

The event also brings together climbers of different capabilities and abilities to learn from each other and the value of working together, Latta said.

While teams can self-assess their way into categories of their commitment to the sport, from hobbyists to addicts, it’s finding the right mix of technical skill, agility, flexibility, strength and problem-solving within a team that will be the recipe for success.

“It’s not about having the ideal body to do the sport, it’s about knowing how to use your body,” Wilson said.

And knowing how to have fun doing it, Latta said.

“My hope is they take climbing less seriously,” he said. “It’s refreshing.”

TRI-CITY LAX POWERS RUSH

If the National Lacrosse League allows players from its champion team to bring the NLL Cup home, the newly minted trophy appears destined for an extended stay in the TriCities.

Several players who grew up in the TriCities or played their formative years in the Coquitlam Adanacs’ minor and junior lacrosse programs helped the Saskatchewan Rush win its third league championship in four years in Saskatoon last Saturday. The Rush defeated the Rochester Nighthawks 15-10 in the decisive third game of their best-of-three finale.

Coquitlam’s Ben McIntosh, who played junior lacrosse for the Adanacs, was the second-leading playoff scorer for the Rush, with eight goals and 10 assists in four games.

Matthew Dinsdale, another Coquitlam product, had 11 points.

Other local players on the Rush roster to play at least once during the the team’s playoff run included Coquitlam’s Mike Messenger, and Robert Church, and Port Coquitlam’s Jeff Cornwall as well as Jr. Adanacs’ alumnus Nik Bilic.

Saskatchewan finished atop the NLL’s regular season standings with 14 wins and only four losses.

After three straight wins in four days, the Coquitlam Adanacs are back in familiar territory, atop the BC Junior A Lacrosse League standings.

The Adanacs battled back to beat the Burnaby Lakers, 8-7, on Monday. That’s after they thumped the Nanaimo Timbermen, 15-5, in Nanaimo on Sunday and defeated the New Westminster Salmonbellies at home last Friday, 12-8.

Coquitlam now has 23 points in 14 games, three more than the Bellies, who’ve played only 11 times.

In Burnaby, the Adanacs scored three unanswered goals in the third period to overcome a 7-5 deficit.

Chase Scanlan scored four times and added an assist to lead all Coquitlam scorers, while Dennon Armstrong pitched in a pair of goals as well as two assists.

The teams were deadlocked 4-4 after the first period, but the Lakers outscored the visitors 3-1 in the middle frame.

At the Sports Centre in Nanaimo, the Adanacs scored 10 goals in the second period to break open a game they’d lead 4-1 at the first intermission. Will Clayton’s unassisted

New Westminster Salmonbellies’ forward Carter Dickson squeezes his way between Coquitlam Adanacs’ defenders Matthew Smigel and Matthew Kim in their BC Junior Lacrosse League game, last Friday at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. The Adanacs won the game, 12-8, and reclaimed top spot in the league standings. goal 42 seconds into the second period made it 5-1 before the Timbermen were able to claw two of those back.

But seven straight goals by the visitors put the game out of reach before Matt Odwyer

scored for the home team to pause the carnage for all of 15 seconds when the Adanacs scored twice more 31 seconds apart.

John Hofseth had four goals and an assist for the

Adanacs, who fired 45 shots at Timbermen keeper Colin Jeffrey.

Friday, in their second game of the season against the Salmonbellies, the Adanacs avenged an earlier 7-5 defeat

by scoring five straight goals in the second period to overcome a 3-2 deficit.

The Salmonbellies opened the scoring at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Centre when Taylor Jensen beat Coquitlam

goalie Christian Del Bianco less than five minutes into the first period. Thomas Semple tied it just over four minutes late, but a minute after that the visitors were in front again on a goal by Keegan Bell during a power play.

Semple was also in on the tying goal, when he set up Larson Sundown with just under six minutes left until the break.

Bell’s second goal of the game put the Bellies back in front less than a minute into the second period. But that would be the last time they held the advantage.

John Hofseth got Coquitlam even and then a pair of goals

by Gabe Procyk put them in front for good.

Scanlan led all the Adanacs’ scorers with five goals and an assist, while Procyk added a pair of helpers to his two goals and Sundown also counted three assists in addition to his goal.

Del Bianco stopped 36 of the 43 shots he faced, and he also contributed a pair of assists.

The Adanacs now get an extended break. They don’t play again until June 20, when they host the Delta Islanders.

The Port Coquitlam Saints played the Bellies at New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday (after The Tri-City News’ print deadline).

That’s because the entire neighbourhood has been planned to compliment and enhance day-to-day life.

For starters, there are stores and services right on your doorstep, with two neighbourhood shopping centres serving up everyday necessities like sushi, daycare, doctors, drug store and a bank. There are also all of the amenities you need in a local community with a selection of schools, parks, community gardens and playgrounds that make the area a perfect place for families. There’s even a waterpark to keep the kids occupied on those hot summer days.

If you’re more interested in getting up close and personal with Mother Nature there’s easy access to nearby trails as well as stunning mountainside views. And you won’t be cut off from the rest of the city either as The Foothills is just minutes from Coquitlam Centre shopping mall while new bus routes and the Evergreen Line SkyTrain extension mean that you can get where you need to go quickly and easily.

When it’s finished the Foothills will be a complete neighbourhood, a modern community that’s been specifically designed to compliment your family’s lifestyle both now and in the future.

Experience it for yourself

This might be the Lower Mainland’s most liveable community When it comes to dreaming up your ideal home in BC, there’s a few things that all of you will have on your wishlist.

For starters you probably want a view that looks out on some of the Province’s stunning scenery. You’ll also want close access to nature and an expansive network of hiking and mountain biking trails in your backyard. You won’t want to sacrifice quality of life however, and so a beautiful home, modern amenities, and good transit links are high on your list of priorities too.

When you put it altogether it looks like an impossible ask, and yet that’s exactly the life that is being served up by

The Foothills at Burke Mountain in Coquitlam.

The Foothills at Burke Mountain is being developed by Wesbild, a company that is famous for the award-winning Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam and Predator Ridge and Turtle Mountain in the Okanagan.

And, as you might expect from a newly built neighbourhood, it offers a selection of modern homes to suit families of all sizes with options ranging from stylish townhouses to luxurious estates. But what really sets The Foothills apart is not the homes that are being constructed, but the complete community that is being built alongside them.

From estate residences to single family homes, duplexes to traditional townhomes, there’s a home to fit you and your family at The Foothills. At its heart is a collection of properties built on the mountainside, which means gorgeous views stretch out in front of you while behind you, the spectacular natural world becomes your backyard.

Many of the amenities at Foothills at Burke Mountain in Coquitlam are also already open, and with new residents moving in every day it’s quickly growing into a bustling community.

There are currently three show homes open from builders including Foxridge, Gardenia and Noura Homes giving you the chance to visit and see what the fuss is about for yourself. So if you’re interested in becoming a part of the Lower Mainland’s most liveable community visit the The Foothills in person or online at thefoothillsatburke.com.

Love where you live The Foothills isn’t just a great place to live, it’s also a great place to work, play, and relax with your family and friends.

THREE SHOW HOMES, BC’S BEST BUILDERS AND SO MANY REASONS TO LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE.

KLEIN, Sandra Lynne (nee Thompson) November 2, 1943 - April 14, 2018 Sandi was born and raised in Vancouver and she died peacefully in New Westminster where she lived for nearly 45 years. She will be lovingly remembered by her 4 children Steven (Jody Aspin), Karen (Peter Palm), Tina (Joe Arial), Susan (Peter Foster), granddaughter Jolina Arial, step-grandson Chris Aspin, her brothers; Gary (Tracy) and David (Eleanor May) Thompson, and many nephews and friends.

We invite you to join us at 2:00pm on Saturday, June 16, 2018 at the Edmonds Community Centre in Burnaby to share memories and laughs as we say farewell to our beloved Mother, Sister, Grandma, Aunt and Friend.

For many race participants, their trip to the Giro would not be possible if it wasn’t for the generosity and hospitality of local families who participate in the The Giro di Burnaby Host Housing Program. Host families make a valuable contribution to the sport of cycling!

Being a host family is a great opportunity to see inside the world of competitive cycling while exposing your children to the discipline and commitment required to be a professional cyclist.

Hosting is easy- there are only three requirements:

» Provide the cyclist(s) a place to sleep and shower for the duration of BC Superweek (July 5-16, 2018) » Provide access to kitchen appliances and allow rider(s) to store items in a refrigerator » Provide a safe storage place for bike and gear The Giro di Burnaby is one of nine professional cycling events on the BC Superweek circuit taking place in the Lower Mainland from July 5-16, 2018. Professional cyclists from all over the world will be racing on the streets of our communities with hopes of winning some of the incredible $140,000 in prize money and crowd primes.
